Pink Dusk is the pinkest of the Nude shades in the Tom Ford Private Blend line. My lack of comfort in very nude shades is well-documented, but this has enough pink and is just deep enough not to make my lips disappear into my pale skin.
Picture applied to the lips. On me, it's a nude pink, if you have more colour in your lips then it will read as more of a rosy colour.
Full face picture. I'm also wearing Edward Bess Intimate eyeshadow on my eyelid, Edward Bess Night eyeshadow to line my upper lashes, and Edward Bess Daydream bronzer.
This is as comfortable as I'll ever get in a nude lipstick; I don't feel like my lips have disappeared, but it's subtle enough to wear with a heavier eye look. The shades of nude in the collection cover beige, flesh-toned, brown and pink, so there should be a nude to suit everyone. If you'd like descriptions of any of the other nude colours (or any of the other colours in the line), please leave a comment below and I'll do my best to help.
Apologies for the convict-like expression. Miss London was giving me helpful modelling tips ("Look serious, but not sad, Mummy"), so most of the photos looked more like this:

again i think this is a great colour on you - you're lucky you can carry off so many different shades!

It's not too nude on you! Looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteBut the all important question - do you think it is worth the price?
xx
Hi Amina - thank you :)
ReplyDeleteHey Moodeve. Thanks :) To be completely honest, I probably wouldn't have bought this one straight off, I'd have bought one of the two brights I'm going to picture next. I would have bought one at launch, but this, lovely as it is, would not have been the one that I chose. (I do prefer brighter colours on me though).
It's a nice shade...but it isn't dramatically different from anything else out there. The packaging is lovely though.
ReplyDeleteNudes never look that good on me because they look to much like my natural lip colour...bring on the brights. :)
Hi Grace, it looks quite delicious and not too blue, either.
ReplyDeleteAre they moisturising? They look quite creamy.
Also, do you ever use a nude lip pencil, and finally, do you use a special lip exfoliator, or just lip balm? Your lips always look in super condition.
Hey Ms Wedgie. It isn't madly different from other nudes out there, but it's a very nice specimen, and it doesn't make me feel lipless. I'm with you though - more about the brights!
ReplyDeleteHi Jo - they are really comfy lipsticks. It's creamy but it doesn't smear (I found the red D&G just too creamy for me, it bled over my lipline without a liner.)
The picture is without a lipliner - I rarely use one, I don't find I need to unless a lipstick is quite smeary. I didn't need a lipliner with the bright Tom Ford I'm wearing today either.
I don't use an exfoliator, and I have really dry lips - I always worry they look dry in pictures! I use the Sisley Lip Balm generally (bloody expensive, but stops my lips peeling) but I've just started using Lanolips, and that has (touch wood) been very good as well.
Really pretty! I'm going to get me some Tom Ford lippies!
ReplyDeleteIt really suits you! Lovely shade.
ReplyDeleteI really like it, I'm not sure it's £35-worth of like, but it *does* look good on you.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I can't wait to see the brights!
It's a beautiful wearable nude on you!!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!

Hi Jamilla - I think you're going to like these.
ReplyDeleteHey Vex - thank you! :)
Hi Get_Lippie - True Coral, that's the one I think you'll like.
Hi Tina - thanks :)
That does look nice on you, although I think you could probably pull off the majority of shades. I think that will be one of the shades I get. You are making me want that EB bronzer and I don't wear bronzer.... Thanks for the pics x
ReplyDeleteDelightful! You lucky duck, getting to try these. I can't imagine I'd ever manage to part with that much for one lipstick, but if I win the lottery I'll definitely indulge.
ReplyDeleteLOL about Miss London! I do like this nude color on you but then you can wear just about anything.
ReplyDeleteHi Replica - this colour definitely made me think of you.
ReplyDeleteHey Sarah - Very lucky! One to bear in mind if those blasted numbers do play nicely one week. :)
Hey Ammie - she's too funny sometimes. I think you'd like this one or the Blush Nude.
...and, D'OH! That's me ^ accidentally commenting with my other google account.
ReplyDeleteOooh - this is SUCH a lovely colour!
